The string (or character) data type typically requires more manipulation to be helpful for data analysts. Thus, there is a need for a robust package that is up to the task. forstringr is a new package built on top of stringr to execute various string manipulations in R programming. The main aim of forstringr is to simplify string manipulation for R beginners. This package combines its power with the adaptability of other manipulation tools such as tidyr and dplyr. Like in the stringr package, most functions in forstringr begin with str_.
